1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Microporous annealed particle (MAP) hydrogels consist of densely crosslinked and annealed hydrogel particles. Compared to common hydrogels, the inherent porosity within and among these hydrogel particles offers interconnected channels for substance exchange in addition to sufficient growth space for cells, thereby forming a three-dimensional culture system that highly mimics the in vivo microenvironment. Such characteristics enable MAP hydrogels to adapt to various requirements of biomedical applications, along with their excellent injectability and mechanical properties. This review initially provides a comprehensive summary of the fabrication methods and material types of MAP hydrogels, alongside an assessment of their mechanical properties and porosity. In vitro studies are evaluated based on the impact of MAP hydrogels on cellular behaviors, focusing on cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, activity, and phenotype. In vivo research highlights the promising applications of MAP hydrogels in tissue regeneration, as well as their innovative use in cancer immunotherapy. Current challenges and future research directions are outlined, underscoring the potential of MAP hydrogels to significantly improve clinical outcomes in cancer treatment and regenerative medicine.
